US Designates Cartel a Terrorist Group, Says Nothing About Saudi Royal Family
Bloomberg Politics heralds President Trump’s designation of Venezuela’s 'Cartel de los Soles' (Cartel of the Suns) as a foreign terrorist organization. This move, reported to take effect in November 2025, conveniently escalates tensions with a US-targeted adversary, Nicolás Maduro. Funny how 'alleged drug networks' become 'terrorists' when they're in Caracas, but powerful Gulf monarchies funding
extremist groups globally remain steadfast 'allies'—even after 9/11. One might wonder if the definition of 'terrorist' is less about actual terror and more about who holds oil reserves the US might 'liberate.' This isn't about drugs; it's about control. Remember that time the US designated a pro-democracy movement in Nicaragua as 'terrorists' back in the 80s? Good times.
